John and I had lunch in Jasper, GA on our way back from Carters Lake. Old Mulehouse was a fascinating choice for lunch. Great food and a lot of outside sitting. In fact, you will sit right at the intersection of Main St and Church St (the two main roads in Jasper). We saw a lot of interesting traffic from dilapidated trucks to vintage cars – and of course a lot of motorbikes.

The city bills itself as the “First Mountain City” (that is what it said on the main water tank – see the picture). Very cute town.

If you go thru Jasper, GA in future, do not forget to swing by Old Mulehouse for a meal or cocktail and enjoy watching the traffic go by…

Tucked away in the Blue Ridge mountains (Chatsworth, GA), it is a very quiet and serene lake. I believe there are no private residences on this lake. Fed by the Coosawattee river, this is a man-made lake.

There was virtually no traffic in the lake…

Today’s destination was Carters Lake in Chatsworth, GA. First visit to the lake.

The one restaurant near the marina on this lake that I could find was unfortunately, closed due to COVID. John and I got a good view of the lake and then landed up riding up to Jasper for lunch.

Speaking of John, he has bought yet another motorbike – a Kawasaki this time. If you are keeping count, he has had 8 motorbikes in the three years that I got to know him after meeting him in the motorcycle safety classes. And I am still on my first one!!
